The hotel had a great central location near Kona Bay, but cleanliness was an issue with spider webs and dust seen around. The service was exceptional, offering specific instructions to save our room for a late check-in. The dining options at the hotel were limited, but there were good fresh fruit choices available. Despite some drawbacks, the convenient location stands out as the main highlight.
